Dr. Becky
Physical Therapist/Owner
Dr. Becky Parr grew up in Michigan but escaped to Ohio for college and has been living here since. She attended Ohio Northern University for undergrad, double majoring in Biology and Psychology, and attended the University of Dayton where she received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2011. She began working in an outpatient sports medicine clinic with a bike path behind it and fell in love with running. It didn’t help that her co-workers were Ironman champions! She ran her first half marathon in 2012 and has since competed in countless races through the ultra-distance. Her claim to fame with her running group, She Run This Town, is running her first marathon while pregnant with her first child, and her first ultra while pregnant with her second child! She loves working with runners and is also a certified running coach.
When she became pregnant with her first child, she searched the literature trying to find out the best way to scale exercise during pregnancy and how to resume post-partum but was disappointed in the overall lack of resources. This frustration led her down the road of seeking additional training and certifications in pregnancy and pelvic health rehabilitation to better help not only herself but other women facing similar struggles.
She loved incorporating this new knowledge into her practice and felt like she was actively making a difference in so many women’s lives, but was still frustrated with the insurance-driven demands and employer-mandated productivity requirements. Becky felt like she wasn’t able to give clients the best care she could with this model. She knew they deserved better. Individual care with one-on-one attention. They deserved a provider with health and wellness expertise who would devote what needed to be done to address whole-person needs, not just injury needs. Thus, Resilience Physical Therapy was born.
